Is the link still up? I couldn't find it.

How long did it take you? I'm not going to be working between Christmas and New Years. I'll be doing a lot of hunting, but I was thinking of making one for my son while they are away that week. Is that enough time to allow for all the drying and work that needs to be done?

That is plenty of time. It took me 7 days start to finish, but I only worked on it after work and read the instructions over and over again 50 times. Knowing what I know now, I could knock it out in 3 days probably.

I gave the wood glue 24 hours to dry, but the glass only takes 2 hours.

Aren't you around my area? I'm up to $200 which is a direct result of the fiberglass. I probably used too much.

Edit: I've never even looked at a Pirogue up close, so this was truely a crazy experience. I'm very happy with it.

I thought Uncle Johns would be easier, so I went with it. However, he doesn't list the exact measurements. That's why you have to buy the plans from him. I didn't do that, I just went with my own made up measurements.

If any of y'all need help, just let me know. If you can't lay it out or cut the bow stems, for a small fee I could do the stems and cut a full size paper pattern. I don't know what Uncle Johns charged, but I'm sure my price would a lot lower. About 8 or 9 months, I started a thread about holding a building class. Had a few interested, but no takers.
